"The playing lesson that wrapped it all together was fantastic"

Taking the instruction to the golf course made all the difference in the world. Hitting balls from the lesson tee is one thing; putting it into play is another. The on-course evaluation exposed where my true weakness were. The instruction at the Jack ...
